Suppose with me for a second that everything you’ve ever desired in life was obtained. Suppose every dream you ever dared to dream came to fruition. Suppose every fear you could possibly conceive was eradicated by the exact opposite, and worry was replaced with an abundance of bliss. I suppose if this were possible you’d be a cartoon sketched or fictitious character from the pages of someone else’s wildest imagining.

Life isn’t always perfect. We don’t always win. We aren’t always met with the most favorable circumstances in every situation. But that’s what makes life a beautiful experience in and of itself. “Life is a journey of realization, which often ends in that place where dreams never begin”.

We must allow ourselves the opportunity to grow through experiences. Otherwise, we’ll follow the pattern of an old fools perception, lamenting in future years of how life was too short. In actuality, if more time is spent enjoying the precious moments gifted – including taking the bitter with the sweet – we’ll find ourselves more fulfilled through gratefulness.

Don’t rob yourself of an amazing journey through life because you’re burdened with worrying about the uncontrollable; hoping for the not yet attained; supposing to achieve what will never occur without action; or waiting alas for the magic to happen.

Make the best of what you have. Time elapses second by second whether we acknowledge it or not. Thus, time worthwhile is best measured in those moments spent living.
